Another awesome chance to let these kids unwind a bit and explore their creativity

This was the second workshop for the AP group. It is awesome to watch classmates satrting to independently share and teach each other new techniques that they know.

Workshop 8 was with the AP Art group. This project - perhaps the sheer tactility of yarn, has been unanimously embraced and enjoyed in all the workshops. As always, some novel interpretation and experimentation in approaches.
